Don't kid yourself about why Donald Trump skipped the the debate. He had his reasons. I have no idea what they were. But it looks to the world outside the Trump Universe as a childish act. There is really nothing anyone can do now to affect that view.
I think Cruz handled the "attacks" directed at him brilliantly and was helped by this debate. Would Trump have been as good? I doubt it. We'll never know.
Bottom line: If you are a Trump Fan he made a brilliant move in dodging the Silver Debate Bullet. If you are anyone else he looks like a Cry Baby.
I think we are in for a very rough ride between now and November.
